Eddy Current Braking-An Auxiliary Brake in Electric Vehicles
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering TechnologyBraking systems are critical in any vehicles, including electric vehicles. But, the excessive use of friction brakes results in decreased braking performance and system degradation. Regenerative braking which is widely used in EVs to recover kinetic energy during deceleration, converting it into electrical energy for storage.
